A shift to remote work is one of the widespread effects of the global pandemic, and we heard from organizations around the world who are looking for ways to enable more of their employees to work remotely for their safety and that of the community.

Today we’re announcing new, transformative advances we’re making to combine the power of Azure, 5G, carriers, and operators around the world to enable new scenarios for our developers, customers, and partners, with the preview of Azure Edge Zones.

Today we are excited to offer a new solution to bind Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Application Gateway. The new solution provides an open source Application Gateway Ingress Controller for Kubernetes, which makes it possible for AKS customers to leverage Application Gateway to expose their cloud software to the Internet.
